    - Problem with US Air website shutdown I have one laptop PC (a new Dell) that is running Windows XP Pro and IE 7.0. When this one laptop accesses www.usairways.com and tries to search for flights or tries to log into his account, he gets a "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close". I am trying to determine what is causing the problem on his laptop - his is the only one that is doing this in my company. My laptop (also a Dell laptop with the same software) does not have this problem. The only difference that I can determine between the problem laptop and my laptop is that my laptop is older and had IE 6.0 installed prior to updating to IE 7.0. As I recall, the problem laptop came with IE 7.0 installed on it. After several hours of software reinstallation (IE and Java), comparing IE settings between the good laptop and the problem laptop, changing/diabling antivirus software, changing firewall settings, I made no progress on determining the cause of this problem. Then I decided to do one final thing, I went under Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). When I run IE with no Add-ons the usairways.com website runs fine. This tells me that I must have a problem with one of the add-on versions conflicting with something on the website. Anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else got this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111829

    - Windows Live toolbar breaks <option selected> This problem is definitely related to the "Windows Live Toolbar Helper" (msntb.dll) but only in Vista and NOT XP. The same helper is enabled on the XP machine and doesn't cause problems. If I disable the Addon, the <option selected> works correctly. Maybe this is a problem only on my machine because I haven't been able to get confirmation that it fails on other Vista machines. In the following example it starts up with "United States" selected instead of Canada. The State drop-down is correct. <HTML> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <head><title>Drop-Down Test!</title> </head> <body > <table align=center border="2" width="750" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td> <table align=center border="2" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="450" > <tr><td> <form name='main' action='http://www.showmyhorse.com/index.php' method='POST'> </td></tr> <tr><td align='left'><b>Country:</b> <select name='country' onchange='submit()'> <option value='CA' selected>Canada </option> <option value='MX'>Mexico </option> <option value='US'>United States </option> </select> </td></tr> <tr><td align='left'><b>State/Province: <select name='ShowState' onchange='submit()'> <option value='AL'>Alabama </option> <option value='AK' selected>Alaska </option> <option value='VT'>Vermont </option> <option value='VA'>Virginia </option> <option value='WA'>Washington </option> <option value='WV'>West Virginia </option> <option value='WI'>Wisconsin </option> </select> </td></tr> </form> </table> </table> </body></html> Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111822

    - Lost all entries in my 'Favorites' column I seem to have lost all the entries in my 'Favorite' column, and I am not able to enter any new entries. The only way of entering a new item is by starting a new folder and entering the items there. Then when clicking the Favorites button the new file is displayed and by clicking it the recent items can be seen. Is there a way of returning to the default position whereby one can enter new items straight into the Favorites colum? -- Fertig Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111821

    - Adobe and IE7 When trying to open a PDF document on a secure website, There is a pop up saying it will take a couple of minutes to generate page, page will refresh into another tab, then nothing but a blank page when status download bar at bottom of IE7 is finished. I have netscape navigater as a browser as well and I have no problems generating PDF'S with the same web site, I am using MCafee Internet security, But still have no problems with Netscape, Only in IE7 . Can someone point me in the right direction. I am totally baffled, even with addons disabled, and a process of elimination, I still get the same issue. I have come to the conclusion at this point the problem is iether with, Adobe , or IE7. At first I thought it would be Mcafee, but the same happens on two other systems using panda, norton.

    - Vista IE7 problems Since I have upgraded to Vista, I have been having a problem with saving favorites. When I go to save a page in favorites by clicking the 'plus-star' button and then 'add to favorites', then using the dropdown list of folders, I find there is nothing on the dropdown list. I have to create a new folder (one of my existing folders in favorites) and am then able to add the web page to the desired favorites folder. This would be ok but whenever I close explorer and then return to use the dropdown list again, there is nothing on it. I have to add the page to the general favourites list and then drag it to the required folder. Bummer! Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111808

    - Always returns to login screen There are several websites that I usually have no problem logging into that are giving me problems. Basically whenever I try to login, I just get returned to the login screen. No errors, but I will not be logged in. An example, if it helps, is radiotimes.co.uk. It can't be the actual websites that are causing the problem because I have several with the same problem that I am usually able to login to easily. Please help!!

    - Error in appendChild() (JavaScript, IE7) In some cases appendChild() changes the reference to the parent object to reference the object returned by appendChild(). Example: var form = document.forms['form1']; var input = document.createElement('<INPUT name="input1">'); input.type = 'HIDDEN'; input.id = 'id1'; form.appendChild(input); Sometimes the form variable at this point references the appended INPUT object. I havn't figured out when this happens, the same code works as expected in most cases. I have observed this in IE7.0.5730.11, not in IE6 or FireFox. Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111789

    - IE7 gives on error shutdown message when I am shutting it down I see there are a fair number of messages re IE7 shutting down unexpectedly. My situation is different. On rare occasions, I may get the message apologizing that there has been an error, and IE7 must shut down. in the middle of working on things. But much more often I get the error message that IE7 must shut down, after I've clicked on the "X", to shut it down. So that's weird, but not really much of a problem. Hey, I called for it to shut down. Ron Hirsch Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111787

    - Did Vista Break IE 7's ability to drag URL from address bar to des This sounds like a very silly question - but I think Vista broke something (maybe by design) or perhaps something is wrong with my installation. When dragging a url from the address bar in the past (to the desktop for example) it would create an internet shortcut. I could then later click these and the web page would open, or drag and drop them back into an open IE and the itnernet explorer would navigate to them, etc. When doing a file properties on them, they would show as a web document of extension .url - . After installing Vista Ultimate and using it I now see that when I do this a url file is created - but its different and if I double click on it it does not work - and the icon for th efile is blank -(pure white) - and it no longer shows as a web document when I look at its properties. It did save the title of the web page as the title of the document - but thats all. There is nothing in the url box under details and no description or notes. If I go to the file afterwards and click on properties and then details and manually paste in the url into details - then the file will work when double clicking, etc. but its still different because its not a web document. Something seems very broken because internet explorer can not save the web page's proper information as a internet shortcut when dragging the url from the address bar. Is this normal bahvior with Vista now, or is something broke? If something is broke - do you know how to fix it? Please help - PBG Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111780

    - HELP! Tiny font for buttons and text fields I have been using IE7 that came with the laptop I recently purchased. Mostly, it's been fine, but I have one problem I can't seem to solve. The font for buttons, combo boxes and text fields on most web sites appears as a very small Times Roman (I would estimate maybe four point type). It's effectively impossible to read.

    - Shockwave Flash Object - slow loading of web pages in IE7 / Vista Vista on many web pages (mostly those with ads) has delays loading (ie yahoo, ebay etc). There can be a 2 second delay before the web pages loads and becomes responsive. The individual web page cannot be pre-empted until it is finished (so navigation is disabled). Other web browsers can be opened so it is not an OS problem. When disabling Shockwave Flas Object add-on, it works normally. Has anyone experienced the same problem?

    - IE7 Favorites - File date and size I'm using IE7 on WIN XP Pro SP2. I have noticed that my favorites file dates keep changing and in some cases the file size keeps getting larger over time. The date seems to change each time I visit a site. There also seems to be a lot of information (much of which is repetitive) being added to the shortcut file by some sites. One of my shortcuts is now up to 144K bytes. Before IE7, a typical shortcut file size was between 100 and 300 bytes and didn't change. Can anyone explain why this is happening with IE7? How large can these shortcuts grow to be? Is there a limit? Setting a shortcut to read-only prevents it from changing but I don't know what issues I am creating by doing this. Are there any? Thanks for all input. -- Rod Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111713

    - IE is on my computer but no longer visible. I've no idea how this happened. Everything was normal one day and then it wasn't. IE is no longer in with my quick launch items and it isn't on the "all programs" list on the start menu either. If I look under "Program File" on my C drive there is a folder for IE but there are nothing executable in there and the entire folder weighs in at 3.41 MB which can't be appropriate. Seems simple enough... Just reinstall, right? Well nothing changed when I did that (twice). The other part of the puzzle is that the program is available because if I choose to launch something from Windows Live Messenger it brings up an IE 7 window. What am I not getting here?

    - Windows Media Player Add-In Just recently on my Vista machine, the Windows Media Player ActiveX control started causing certain pages that use it to take forever to load. I'm sure it's that add-in because I disabled all of them and added them back in one by one. When I go to a page that uses the control it takes about 30 seconds for the page to load, and IE completely locks up during that time. Is there anything that I can do to narrow down the cause of this? Thanks, Devin Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111698

    - New window goes to background! Has anyone any idea why, when i click an item on a website for example, an item in a shop, the new window that opens goes behind the main browser window? Its driving me crazy, its not 100% of the time either, e.g. this editing window opened up on top fine. Is there a compatibility issue with some sites now? Also if i open say 10 separate browser windows the screen will flash like mad, is this a graphics card issue, memory or Vista, IE? Thanks Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111678

    - Problem with IE Favorites List in Windows Vista IE 7 Looking for some advice with an annoying problem I've encountered with Windows Vista. When I access my "Favorites" list while using Internet Explorer 7, when I visit a site then click on the favorites list again, 90% of the time it reverts back to the beginning of the alphabetized list - not where I left off when I accessed the most recent site. So, I'm having to scroll down the favorites list each time to get back to where I was - working down the list alphabetically. Not the biggest deal in the world, but annoying. On my other computers running XP and Windows 98, the favorites list remains where it was the last time I clicked on it when I return back to it. I looked in every Windows Vista book at the bookstore and did not see anything regarding a fix for this issue, nor have I found much on this on this issue on Google or on this site. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Missing favorites IE7 in Vista Tag: 111677

    - IE7 onmousedown event in combo box <select> not firing like IE6 (b Hello, I have a page that relies on the use of the onmousedown event on a combo box (<select>) to perform a particular action. In IE6, the onmousedown event fired with every mouse button press (as you'd expect it would). However in IE7, this behavior has changed and the event no longer fires for the second mousedown event if it that event is part of a double click motion. The ondblclick event does fire in that case, but in total only one onmousedown invoke is made compared to the two that are fired under IE6. I don't have any workaround that I can think of. The ondblclick event isn't suitable because it fires only when the button is released -- an event which is too late for the behavior I need. To reproduce this, dump the code below in a file and open it under IE6 and 7 and double click the combo. There's a missing mousedown event in IE7. <html> <body> <select onmousedown="document.getElementById('messages').innerHTML += 'mousedown<br>';"> <option>Option A</option> <option>Option B</option> </select> </body> </html> Can anyone tell me if this is this a bug or a deliberate change in behavior for this control?

They fixed it!

Today I click on the STAR button (for favorites), and it opens an empty
window.
When I click on the STAR_PLUS button and choose "organize favorites", it
opens an empty window.
But when I click on the "add to favorites" and then I click on the "Create
In" button, I see all my favorites sub-folders.

Please help !!!

Favorites are missing
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/iefaq.htm#favorites

Click Start > Run > type "%userprofile%\links" and press ENTER. See if the
default shortcuts are present in that folder. If the "Links" folder is empty,
you can create those missing shortcuts by right-clicking on a blank area in
the "Favorite Links" area in explorer, and selecting the option "Restore
Default Favorite Links".

OTOH if the default links are present but not displayed in the Favorite
Links section, this may be a result of removing the "IsShortcut" registry
value for shortcuts (.lnk file type.) See:

Favorite Links in the Windows Explorer navigation pane is completely empty:
